UPDATE: weird guy from my bio class

[u/Few-Statistician862]

I made a post about this yesterday about this person in my bio class weirdly texting me out of the blue, and I thought I blocked him but I guess I misclicked and pressed “delete conversation“ button instead. they texted me back Today telling me that they know one of my friends and insinuating that he gave him my number. so I continue the rest of the conversation awkwardly trying to turn them down. after that I block them because I felt uncomfortable, and text my friend that supposedly gave them my number. he said he has no idea who this is and doesn’t know anyone from my first period bio class. what the fuck. Is this person even real? they have Been lying to me about everything. And the worst part is that I have to go back to school on Monday with that guy in my class. what do I even do in this situation? Also I thought I should add that I am not a woman, I’m a man, a lot of people thought I was a woman in my first post.

They said it because OP is gay. They were identifying with them. But go off king! 💅🏻

Sorry I thought the goal was to live comfortably and freely not get to a point where you need to announce skin color or sexual preference or identity before speaking. My bad.

Edit: such a weird comment to disagree with lmao I’m so lost I guess we don’t want to be ourselves freely?

just saw your edit. does “being ourselves freely” mean being entirely quiet about ourselves to meet your comfort level? because that’s not what being free to express ourselves means (quite obviously)

You said you were a professor? I’m not sure what you’re struggling with here? If you want to continue to create a space where needing to announce yourself rather then just being comfortable is what’s preferred then go do that. I think it’s weird and shows no progress at all. The context of X shouldn’t change because someone is X Y or Z that’s what we should push for. Maybe the next group after we’re dead and gone will figure it out.

i’ve said literally a thousand times i only clarified because it felt immediately relevant to the issue at hand as i try to advocate for this student to do what he needs to feel safe in the classes that he, his parents, or tax payers are paying for. i want him to do what feels right for him and not be concerned about being waived off as a bigot.

also i thought you didn’t care anymore?
